With age, all biological processes in our body change, and this should be taken into account when planning your diet. To maintain health and prolong youth, help the skin and internal organs adapt to rapid changes, improve metabolism, normalize the nervous system, you need to adjust your diet.
What should I look for?
1. Phytoestrogens
Foods that contain phytoestrogens are beans, lentils, peas, and soybeans. They can also be found in some fruits and vegetables. All of these foods contain antioxidants that will prolong your youthfulness and minerals that can support your bones. Nuts are also a source of estrogen-like substances that normalize hormones and prevent the rapid aging of the entire body as a whole.
Eat flax seeds and oil – they also nourish the body with phytoestrogens and have an enveloping effect in the digestive organs. Estrogens are also found in soy products, soy sauce.
2. Fatty acids
Their task is to improve your metabolism, maintain youthful skin, healthy nails and hair. Due to the slowed down metabolism, weight increases and problems with blood vessels and heart appear. And this is where fatty acids will help keep your figure slim and prevent a disease such as atherosclerosis. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish, as well as avocado and olive oil.
After 40 years, you need to monitor cholesterol and not abuse rich soups, broths, pates, smoked products.
3. Calcium, magnesium and zinc
These substances are especially important in the diet of adults. Of course, ideally, they should be in abundance throughout the years up to 40. Add sour milk products, cheese and dark green vegetables to your diet. Zinc is involved in the production of the hormone progesterone, which regulates estrogen levels and helps to normalize hormones.
